Podcast Reviews

It's great to hear people go through their process.
Can be a good motivation tool as well to hear how others get past their own particular slow moments.
I've discovered a few new artists this way!

Creative Ponderings & Collaborations

August 12, 2016 by ownyourcreativity.com from Canada

I'm really enjoying listening to your show, Nick. I find the Ponder Series thought-provoking, and I love how you dive deeply into the creative process with each of your guests. Keep on tapping!

Inside Your Mind

August 12, 2016 by SeeinADHD.com from United States

I’m recommending this show because Nick shares from the heart and anyone can learn from him and his guests, not just musicians. As a coach, a lot of what is said resonates with me.

Tap To Music

July 16, 2016 by msfhammond from Australia

Any artist will tell you that the creative process is inexplicable. Whether you are a muso, writer or any other creative, listening to Nick and his guests will give you rare insights into the creative lives of a group of artists living their passion. From now on, I won't miss an episode...thanks, Nick?

I have a few musicians in my life. I'm not one but I apprecuate great music and the back story of that music. This is the perfect podcast for someone like me as well as those who are musicians.

Awesome show!

You are only one week from your one year anniversary

May 20, 2016 by imupat3am from United States

Just finished listening to episode 000 that took place last year May 26.. What great growth and transition from episode 0 to episode 67. I plan on getting into stand up comedy and a lot of tips on writing music easily translates to stand up. Congadultions on your one year anniversary keep up the great work

Interesting show

May 6, 2016 by meliniz from United States

I'm not a songwriter or singer but I'm always intrigued by the various creative processes. I'm actually curious about those musicians who create short audios that they sell on platforms like Audio Jungle. Do they go through the same process?

Excellent!

May 6, 2016 by Posturedoc from United States

Great podcast! Excellent work!

Helpful and Inspiring

May 6, 2016 by dannytay92 from United States

I’m like a lot of other people with ideas and dreams just short of really producing the music I want and getting all the ideas in my head down. This podcast provides clear-packaged tools to help in the creative process — loved EP 67’s thought from Idalee to how this cast and these kind of conversations can define and improve our processes.

Extremely inspiring show.

April 30, 2016 by Mr Hez from United Kingdom

It's really great listening to shows like this where the host knows what they are talking about and provides easy to follow tips! Great listen, well presented!!

Great Insight

April 30, 2016 by AlanB-Tractor Guy from United States

Great insight to the creative process of songwriting! Very well done show with a smooth pace. Listened to the whole episode of “Reflection” with Josh Herrera. I loved the stories he shared. Great job interviewing Nick!

As a musician, this show really speaks to me. I look all around me for inspiration every minute of every day, and this show has helped me keep focused on the right things and channel my creativity the right way. I love the stories of the artists who come on the shows, and how they personally keep producing awesome art. Highly recommended show.

A fresh look into how it's done

January 24, 2016 by LulieNH from United States

Nick hosts so many different composers with so many ways of producing their music -- very eye and ear opening! Guests are cutting edge artists and old pros. Fascinating content!

Color me enlightened!

January 24, 2016 by AlfHerigstad from United States

This is something I have always wondered about; the creative process for different genres. Brilliant, and the production quality is exceptional!

Smooth

January 23, 2016 by Luke and Susie from Australia

It's a breathe of fresh air to have such intelligence and heart combined when exploring the artistic process of real artists and not pop-over-produced-under-talented junk.

Enter the mind of a musician!

January 22, 2016 by Youngman Brown from United States

This is a really informative and inspirational podcast that gets deeper into the mind of a musician than you'd ever imagine. It is inspiring if you aren't a musician yourself, or if you are looking for some great new artists that think about music and creativity in bold new ways. Keep up the great work!

Unique

January 15, 2016 by Aditya of My Seven Chakras from Canada

Enjoyed listening to this show. The host has a unique ability to take the guest back in time and speak about moments that inspired them. So many people think that inspiration happens-just like that- but they fail to realize that its all about having a ritual, habit or developing skills to get ready for those magic moments of inspiration!

The Music and the Story

January 15, 2016 by Baldeagle90 from United States

These discussions are awesome! Nick gets the stories behind the band and the music. I love how this podcast really peals away the layers of the creative process and finds applicable lessons I use in many of my endeavors.

Awesomeness!

December 18, 2015 by Terri HarpLady from United States

I absolutely love this show!
Listening to Tap to Music Podcast has become my background soundtrack when I’m driving to and from gigs, when I’m cooking, gardening (not so much gardening right now, since it’s winter), and various other times. Since I found Tap to Music a few months ago, I’ve been on a quest to listen to every episode. I think I have 10 episodes to go now, so hopefully by the end of Dec I’ll be caught up! Then I can just listen weekly as the episodes come out.
Things I love? Pretty much everything! Each artist who comes on the show sharing their experiences, inspirations, and music inspires me, and Nick is the consummate host, drawing out the person behind the music, their thoughts, their heart, their dreams. For a songwriter such as myself, this is a wonderful community of individuals who are sharing the same dreams & calling.
I love it. Thank you!
Nick, you rock!
